By Anton Chekhov
A new version by Sarah Ruhl
Chekhov's poignant tale of love and dreams gets an exciting premiere production from John Doyle, the Tony Award-winning director of Company, and Sarah Ruhl, one of America's most acclaimed young playwrights and author of The Clean House. Love lies deep and untapped for schoolmistress Olga, married Masha and idealistic Irina. Stuck in a backwater town, the sisters long to get to Moscow where they imagine their lives will be transformed and fulfilled. It is a remarkable story of desire, denial and the never-ending pursuit of happiness.
